My Publications page lists several of my papers under the name of “N.D. Robinson”. Robinson is my maiden name, and having been married for just over a year now, most things have been changed over to my married name of Barlow.
A question arose, though, that even though I’ve changed my name, should I also change it when it comes to publications? I know several authors who’ve maintained their maiden names as almost pen names, so they would have a consistent list of publications and not need the asterisk in the middle, as I have. My decision stemmed from having not a consistent list of publications, but a consistent naming convention for myself. If people know me as Nicole Barlow, and they find something written or edited by Nicole Robinson, they may not make the connection that these people are one and the same.
I guess there are pros and cons to both methods.
